    Need help - inertia brakes

    I have a 1994 Shoreline trailer. The brakes were not working so I looked in the master cylinder (says Atwood 171 on it). From what I could tell, it had water in it which has caused the master cylinder to rust inside. I found a new master cylinder for $76.11 online. This seems like a fair...

    Need help reinstalling head on Mercruiser

    I overheated my 3.0 due to a bad impellor and warped my head. Had a mechanic buddy remove it with the idea that he would reinstall it after it was milled. All the sudden he is too busy to help. I've done a lot of wrenching, but I don't know the proper sequence for torquing the head bolts nor...

    Tilt/trim not working on Bayliner runabout

    I have a 1989 Bayliner 18' runabout with a 135 Merc IO. Tilt/trim worked before I stored it last year. Took the boat out for the first time recently. Trim down worked, but when I tried either switch (tilt or trim) to bring it back up it would not work.<br /><br />I'd really appreciate some...
